Human Rights and Radical Political Philosophy
Roberto Buonamano

Free chapter | Unravelling human rights: questions of method doi.org/10.4337/9781...

More information: www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97...

Human Rights and Radical Political Philosophy engages in a critique of international human rights law through readings of influential European philosophers. Roberto Buonamano explores novel and valuable perspectives on the conceptualization of human rights and their relationship to the modern State.

Taking the radical political philosophies of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy as a starting point, Buonamano interrogates the commonly received meanings of foundational concepts such as rights, democracy, freedom, and the State. Within the ambit of genealogy, human rights are examined through Foucault's analyses of governmentality and the subject of truth, and through Agamben’s political ontological theses. The book furthers this discussion by assessing Derrida’s deconstruction of the concepts of humanity, sovereignty, and democracy, as well as Nancy’s re-evaluation of the political in terms of non-subjective sovereignty and ‘being-in-common’.

Research Handbook on Privacy and Confidentiality in Media Law
Edited by Normann Witzleb, Megan Richardson and Damian Clifford

Free - read the Introduction: doi.org/10.4337/9781...

Available in print through our website: www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97...

This comprehensive Research Handbook explores how the media has shaped, and been shaped by, the law of privacy and confidentiality. Leading experts from a range of jurisdictions investigate how the law and regulation in this area has evolved in response to changing media forms, functions and practices.

The central theme that emerges from this collection is that privacy, confidentiality and data protection standards now exert stronger influence on media law than ever before. Analysing key topics such as physical and digital privacy, non-disclosure agreements and data protection claims against the media, the Research Handbook underscores the enduring importance of journalistic reporting and the foundational value of freedom of expression in democratic societies. At the same time, the contributors demonstrate that respect for confidentiality, privacy and data protection is also indispensable for human dignity, autonomy and the flourishing of modern information societies. This collection explores the continuing need for privacy law to adapt to emerging technologies and new social practices, such as the changing dynamics of media production and consumption.
